Anything that Trump and RFK say about “rising rates of autism in children” is categorically false. People have had autism long before it started being diagnosed. I’m sick and tired of this administration infantilizing people with autism.

The greatest threat to Trump’s “Make America Healthy Again” bullshit is people with autism standing up and speaking out. There is nothing tragic about autism, contrary to what people like RFK want us to believe.
My family didn’t even think I’d be able to speak when I was an infant, and I sure as hell don’t plan on staying silent. Trump wants to gut the Department of Education which includes funding for special education. I wouldn’t be where I am today without it.
To all the autism moms who think RFK will “cure” their kid’s autism, fuck you. To all the parents including my own who have embraced our differences and advocated for us every step of the way, thank you.
